"During the course of that [previous] investigation, it was determined that some contact had been made between the teacher and the student at the high school," said Sgt. Dedric Smith with the Burke County Sheriff's Office.

Sgt. Smith says that contact between Tanksley and the student was text messages and pictures, but he couldn't go into detail about the types of pictures sent.

Burke County Schools sent a statement that reads in part "Inappropriate communication between a second Burke County High School teacher and a Burke County High School student have been brought to the attention of School Superintendent, Mr. Rudy Falana. These findings arose during an ongoing investigation last week that led to the arrest of another BCHS teacher."
